Circumstances
of the fall or discovery: The fall of the meteorite was preceded by the
flight of a bolide from south to north. The bolide, visible in the clear sky,
left a white cloud behind with a diameter of approximately 2° and a train. The
train disappeared about 10 minutes after the appearance of bolide while the
cloud was visible for about 30 minutes. During this time it moved approximately
15° to the east. The cloud was located at an altitude of about 60°. The flight
of the bolide was accompanied by a drone which grew into a rumbling. According
to an eyewit­ness, the meteorite dug out of the ground fell about 12 minutes
after the sounds ceased.
